About Rachael
With three years of professional experience and roles at two mental health charities, Rachael has supported people facing a broad range of complex mental health concerns, including PTSD, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, bereavement, and abuse. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor her work to each person she meets, recognising that one size does not fit all.
Rachael’s approach is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Rather than offering top-down advice, she helps clients identify their own strengths and solutions, guiding conversations so individuals can arrive at meaningful answers for themselves. She practices in English and is based in the United Kingdom, and welcomes people who are ready to explore change with a supportive, person-centred professional. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support
Rachael uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people understand and change patterns that contribute to stress and low mood - for example, methods that help identify unhelpful thoughts and develop more adaptive ways of coping with anxiety and depression. She also works with trauma-informed strategies that support people in processing distressing experiences and reducing their ongoing impact. In addition, Rachael offers grief-focused support aimed at helping individuals work through loss and rebuild a sense of meaning and routine.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachael works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options, adapt methods over time, and involve the client in decisions about the direction and pace of work.
Online therapy with Rachael is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from home or while balancing work and family commitments. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing people to choose the way of working that feels most comfortable and practical for them.
